OTTAWA — A newly released document shows the head of the RCMP told Ottawa the national police force could offer guidance to the Winnipeg police on searching a landfill for the remains of two First Nations women.
Jeremy Skibicki, 35, has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Harris and Myran plus two other women: Rebecca Contois and an unidentified woman whom Indigenous leaders have named Mashkode Bizhiki'ikwe, or Buffalo Woman. The RCMP confirmed Tuesday that Lucki gave the information to the federal government"proactively," as neither the Liberal government nor the Winnipeg police had asked the Mounties to consider how they could help.
"I wish they would have reached out to the RCMP, the provincial government, federal, municipal — just anyone," Cambria Harris said in an interview Tuesday.One of the ways the RCMP said it could help was by offering expertise from its investigation into Pickton, whose pig farm in Port Coquitlam, B.C., became known as the largest crime scene in Canada.
